Travelling to London shortly and staying overnight with a mate, then 6 Portilloos (including a mini one) travelling out of Marylebone first thing. In order to unencumber myself of too much luggage I'll be travelling today in full pastel regalia to Victoria. This is known as a double bradshaw

Leave Hastings 16.00, beers and curry tonight in Birmingham, full English in the morning. Slow train home from Moor St (cheap).

Yeh Moor Street is the cheap route but it is a really nice train journey and all the stations still have the old Chiltern Railway sign posts. Have a coffee in the small café at Moor Street station. It's like stepping back into the 1930s. Well if you ignore the coffee expresso machines behind the counter that is.

Getting up about 730, walk to allotment, home for a coffee and lunch.
Travel to lounge, turn on computer to listen to game on SP.
Hopefully by the time the trophy for first place has been presented to Bruno and I've climbed off the ceiling after celebrating.
Tea time.

Certainly.

Obviously there's Brewdog where we will kick off but literally opposite is a cute little cafe called http://www.cherryreds.com with a very impressive range of taps and good music. It's young and lively (Im feeling neither at the mo) and I'm in here now having breakfast http://www.purecraftbars.com have a tap in Birmingham. Oakham Ales have a splendid old school pub here http://thebartonsarms.com. And there's this http://www.clinkbeer.com. There's a few others as well but these are our main targets for tonight.

Enjoy, and if I bump into you I'll buy you a beer!
